Votto.

What else can be said about Joey Votto right now? Another homer while fighting the dizziness and inner ear infection. He was 0-for-3 vs. Roy Oswalt with two Ks but slugged a 1-0 fastball in the seventh from Tim Byrdak into the first row of left field seats for the game-winning two-run homer in a 6-4 Reds win.

“The coaching staff and the training staff probably has been the important part,” Votto said of his ability to play through his issues. “All the doctors that they’ve used have been perfect for me. I definitely couldn’t have done it without their help. Today was probably the first game that I felt pretty good. I have to do it again tomorrow.”

I think that Votto is the most clutch player on this team since Barry Larkin. He seems to have that “quiet leader” quality to him. Maybe he is different inside the clubhouse? I hope he is someone that the other guys look up to, because he get’s it. Big time.Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com
